    Default my own razors

    Here are my razors, from top Empire, Wade & Butcher, Torrey, Metropol, 2 Larkins and a Pirola. They all give a good shave. The reason I carried a straight in my boot was not only to shave but if I got tangled up in my parachute suspension lines was to have something to cut them. A bayonet as issued wouldn't cut butter.

    Very nice looking collection!!

    I'm assuming those are your initials on the scales, how did you get those on? A great looking bunch though

    How do you like that Larkin? I have two of them (maybe three?).

    Default Larkin

    Hi,
    The Larkin razors are a couple of my favorites. I like them very much. They give an excellent shave. I thought of having the whole set Larkin but I kind of like to change around. I have an engraving machine so I engraved my initials on a flat sheet of brass. I then cut it to size and in letted it into the wood.

    Tony
